Lord Byron wasn’t just a poet, he was a rock star. The most prominent and outrageous celebrity of the Romantic era, he lived life to excess – but his relations with women were scandalous and often appalling.

This talk explores those relationships in the context of the social conventions of the time, Byron’s extraordinary rise to fame and legend, and his unparalleled notoriety for drink, sex and rebellion.

The speaker, Jeremy Holmes, was an English scholar at Oxford who has spoken to numerous literary and non-literary audiences.

Coffee/tea and biscuits will be available from 7.30pm. The talk starts at 8.00pm. No booking necessary. Guests and new members welcome.
